Frequently Asked Questions About ORBIS Automotive Packaging Solutions

What kind of automotive parts can be transported in ORBIS automotive conatainers?

The collapsible plastic containers of our BulkPak® Family have high weight capacities of up to 900 kg and can safely transport even heavy components. For large and bulky parts, ORBIS offers the XXLPak boxes in extended length. These extra-large containers hold components that cannot be transported in conventional shipping boxes. In case additional product protection is necessary, our packaging experts design custom inner packaging and dunnage solutions. For the transportation of dangerous goods, such as lithium ion batteries, ORBIS Europe offers different reusable FLCs with UN-certification. We can help you find the right automotive parts packaging solution for your application.

Are the returnable packaging solutions certified for automotive lithium-ion batteries?

The current shift towards e-mobility leads to challenges in the area of packaging. As lithium-ion batteries are classified as dangerous goods, the transport of these goods is subject to strict regulations. ORBIS has developed the IonPak®, a plastic foldable large container that is UN-certified to transport solid dangerous goods, such as lithium-ion batteries and airbags (after successful completion of fire testing). With qualified consulting, our dangerous goods safety advisors support you in finding the right automotive packaging solutions. We adapt the dimensions and inner packaging of our automotive containers to your product and logistics systems.

What logistics benefits does returnable packaging bring to the automotive industry?

ORBIS returnable packaging is ideal for automotive supply chains. The durable design makes the plastic foldable large containers suitable for repeated use – saving on packaging costs in the long run. A unparalleled weight capacity of up to 900 kg leads to optimised space utilisation in trucks or on rails. To improve product protection and minimise damage, we design robust outside and custom inside packaging solutions according to the specific component and application. The collapsible and stackable design of automotive logistics packaging brings considerable transportation cost savings and operational benefits to your supply chain. Finally, returnable containers enhance sustainability by reducing waste and emissions associated with single-use packaging.
